many of the first treatments were prac-
tically ineffective.
Later treatments with pure cyanide were
more successful in destroying the insects,
but the foliage was proportionally in
lured. Treatments varying in dose from
to u ounces of cyanide, and in time
from Is to 60 minutes, showed that the
effect produced on the foliage by longer
treatment was not proportionally greater
than that produced by short treatment.
! Neither was the effect of longer treatments
proportionally more fatal to the insects. 1t
was thus clearly shown that the gas mix
ture should be of considerable strength in
order TO insure rapid action.
The effect of the gas was so disastrous to
the foliage that it became necessary 10 find
some means of remedying this trouble
This was sought in applying a second gas,
which might preserve the foliage. Sui
phuretted hydrogen was therefore injected
into the tent, together with the cyanide
gas, both from the same generator; a por-
ton of the sulphuretted hydrogen being
introduced before the cyanide was gener-
ated. 1t was found that the insects ap-
peared stupefied when the tent was raised
but large numbers revived in few hours.
The effect of the cyanide seemed therefore
to have been decreased by the sulphuretted
HN uibSCis dS lOlluSt Was IlOl preserved,
although not so badly affected as by treat
ments of cyanide alone.
Carbonic acid gas was next tried. Trees
were treated with larger doses of cyanide
than heretofore used, and the carbonic
acid from 1! pounds of carbonate of soda
was at the same time introduced with these
doses. The insects were killed and the
foliage of 12-foot tree remained unframed.
while that of a 14-foot tree with the same
amount of carbonic acid was slightly in
jured, Thus it was shown that it would
require II pounds of bicarbonate of soda
to preserve tree-tops u feet in diameter.
and that with this protection the deadly
cyanide could be successfully used.
The~regulation of the doses for the diff
ferent sized trees so as to produce uniform.

results OF the experiments which deter

How Napoleon rerrorized Peon,s,

All equality, all familiarity, freedom or
companionship fled at his approach When
he had been appointed to command the
Army of Italy, Admiral Decres, who had
known him well at Paris, hearing that he
was to pass through Toulon, offered to pre-
sent all his comrades. The Admiral says
- | ran full of eagerness and delight to greet
him. The doors of the salon opened |
was going to spring toward him, when his
attitude, his look, the sound of his voice,
were sufficient to arrest me. There was
nothing offensive or insulting but it was
enough After that l never tried to over
step the distance that he had placed be-
tween u.s."
Some days later, at Albenga, the Gener-
ais of division, among the rest Augereau, a
kind of heroical, rough old soldier, proud
of his tall form and OF his bravery, came to
headquarters very badly disposed toward
the little upstart whom they had sent to
them from Paris. From the description
given OF him, Augereau is insulting aud
insubordinate in advance, A favorite of
Barras ~ he SAYS: street Generalif ~
They are admitted, and Bonaparte makes
them wait. He appears finally, girds on
his sword. puts on his hat, explains his
dispositions, gives them his orders, and dis
misses them. Augereau had remained
dumb when they are outside he first re
covers himeelf and finds again his custo-
mary oaths. He agrees with Massena that
that little b. ola General frightened him.
He is not able to understand the ascend
ency with which he felt himself crushed 81

the first glance" Another specimen of
this ascendency on another old soldier of
the Revolution, still rougher and more en-.
ergetic than Augereau, is given in the ex-
perience of General Vandamme. In 1915
Vandamme said to Marshal Soult one dav
as they were ascending together the steps
Of the Tuileries: My dear friend, that
devil of man referring to the Emperor
exercises fascination over me that am
unable to account for. 1t influences me to
that degree that /, who fear neither God
nor devil, am ready to tremble like a child
when be approaches. He could make me
pass through the eye of needle; to cast
myself in the fire for him" And he him.

In order ID annlv the doses easiIu ther

III Oruer 10 apply the doses easily they
are prepared SO that the required amounts
of each ingredient can be directly meas
uIed. The cyanide solution is prepared nv
dissolving, say ten pounds of the solid salt
in about p gallons ofwater, warmed nearly
TO the boiling point, stirring at intervals,
cooling, and then diluting to % gallons
This solutiOnWill contain about one ounce of
cyanide potassium to p fluid ounces of the
liquid
The bicarbonate of soda is pulverized
finely and measured off in vessel marked.
so as to designate pounds and fractions of
pound of the solid material 1t is then
placed in the generator, and the dose of
cyanide mixed with it, and, if neces-
sary, little water added to make
it into a thin paste. After adding
the measured dose of sulphuric acid,
the pump is worked slowly at first. and
more rapidly after the gas has passed into
the tent. The time for each treatment
must be determined by future experiments;
Is minutes seemed to be quite sufficient
when the cyanide alone was used but it
may be desirable to extend the treatment
to 80 minutes when the foliage is protected
by the carbonic acid gas.
1t is advisable that the treatments
should follow cultivation after about four
days, so that all weeds and places where
| the insect may find Judgment would be de-
stroyed. The insect will then be on, or
very near, the tree; the fitting of the tent
to the ground is thus also much easier.
The eggs of the insect remained appa-
rently uninjured, wherever protected by
the woolly covering. A second treatment,
to destroy such as may aiterward hatch,
| will therefore be necessary.
1t must not be understood that these ex-
periments definitely settle the mode of
operation and the size of the doses to be
used. They are merely suggestive of
general plan which can be so perfected in
the future that the application of this REM
edy to other kinds of trees and insects
must be attended with good results. 1t
simply remains for the ingenious cultiyator
to devise the necessary appliances for its
use, on small scale, on all sorts of fruit
| trees, shrubs and plants.
1t must not be forgotten that extreme
care in the handling both of this deadly
gas and of the cyanide itself is necessary.
To inhale the one, or to taste or touch a
wound with the other, may lead to serious
| consequences. f. w. MORSE

The war which is now being waged by
the Directors of the Mechanics Institute
against the interior should arouse those
in authority in the district societies to TAX
immediate steps to protect their interests
In their greed the Directors of the Mechan-
les Institute not only run their fair dur
ing the whole time the State Society Fair
is held, but they run counter to the fairs to
be held at San Jose, Santa Rosa, Petaluma.
Salinas, Nevada, Oakland and Stockton
The people of the latter place are par
ticularly interested having announced
magnificent fair, and are building
pavilion, which, when completed, will
cost nearly $4,000. If the Directors Of
this close corporation, i. e., the Mechanics
Institute, consider they are engaged in a
good work, by endeavoring to ride rough
shod over every other portion of the State,
they may meet with obstacles they do not
anticipate We do not care how respecta-
bic the committee is that is associated with
the NJ echanics' Institute in this warfare.
1t is always " eminent respectability" that
desceHds to such ull-dozing'' as is now
going on in the direction of which we
speak, 1t is nothing more nor less than
an attempt to injure the interests of he
interior under the spacious guise of friend
ship. Now We understand the Directors of
the Mechanics Institute are arranging for
a monster programme of races and cattle
exhibition at the Bay District Fair Grounds.
Of course, every one knows the close con-
rection between mechanism of all kinds.
